Lost in the lullabies, stories told to sweeten Life's sour aftertaste from which we all have weakened. We are the storytellers, weaving webs of lore Made to be our weight bearers when we can bear no more. This world is just a story; This life: fictitious folly. No rights.  No wrongs.  No this or that. Just tales to keep us jolly.

Storytellers
Lost in the lullabies, stories told to sweeten Life's sour aftertaste from which we all have weakened. We are the storytellers, weaving webs of lore Made to be our weight bearers when we can bear no more. This world is just a story; This life: fictitious folly. No rights.  No wrongs.  No this or that. Just tales to keep us jolly.
This was inspired by History professor Yuval Noah Harari — author of Sapiens: A Brief History of Mankind-- from his article entitled "why humans run the world" which I happened across on ideas.ted.com. http://ideas.ted.com/why-humans-run-the-world/
